When Liu Yuan came to Luoyang, it was the third day after the army set out, and the imperial court was about to hold a big wedding for Sima Shu, and set a date, and the government and the opposition were in a festive atmosphere.

Liu Yuan and Liu Yin, Liu Gon and other people discussed ways to rescue Liu Yao, Liu Yin twisted the black mole in his hand and said: "Governor Dadu, you have been in Luoyang as a hostage, and you have contacted many princes and ministers, so you will naturally have a lot of friends, if you give a generous gift to one of them and ask him to help, Hall Master Liu will definitely be fine." ”

"Situ Wanghun and I are good friends, and he can help." Liu Yuan said.

"But Wang Hun is terminally ill and can't be a director." Liu Yin said.

"Ah, it's so unfortunate, and Yin Leguang of Henan Mansion."

"After all, the official position of Fu Yin Leguang is too small, the governor, and there are no courtiers who are ranked among the three dukes?"

Liu Yuan thought for a while, shook his head and said: "When I was in Luoyang, Sima You, the king of Qi, wanted to kill me several times, so I rarely went out later to protect myself, but ...... I think there's someone who can give it a try. ”

"Who is it?"

"Chengdu Wang Sima Ying."

"Sima Ying is very young, his official position is not big, and he is all in a vacant position, this person may not be able to count on it." Liu Gon said.

"When Sima Ying was a child, in order to please Emperor Wu, I once gave Sima Ying a gift, because his mother Concubine Cheng believed in Buddhism, so I gave a Hetian jade Guanyin ornament and personally hung it around his neck, I think just by virtue of this, I went to visit Sima Ying, and he would definitely agree to help."

"Governor, this matter can also be tried, but my subordinates have come up with another idea." Liu Yindao.

“？ What are your ideas? ”

"Dudu, of course, Hall Master Liu killed a Huainan swordsman in Luoyang, fled to Goryeo, and went to Yamatai, and came back a few years later, and it was not a certain person who saved him, but happened to encounter an amnesty from the imperial court, so now the opportunity has come again."

"Amnesty? The amnesty was because Jia Nanfeng gave birth to a princess, if there was no major event, how could the amnesty come when it came? We can't just wait. Liu Gon doubted.

"Yes, of course we can't wait, don't forget that there are people in our palace, as long as Jia Nanfeng says a word, Hall Master Liu will be saved."

"What's wrong?"

"The prince's wedding date is approaching, just in the past few days, if you can say that Jia Nanfeng will amnesty the world, Hall Master Liu will be saved."

Liu Yuan thought for a while and said: "This plan is feasible, it should be done quickly, if it is in the next few days, there will be no such opportunity." ”

"Okay, my subordinates will go and inform Liu Zhen."

Liu Yuan said: "Okay, let's go separately, I'm going to Chengdu Palace." ”

"Dudu, if we say that Jia Nanfeng is moved, we don't need to ask any more princes."

"Yes, but wouldn't it be more effective for us to do both, besides, I have another purpose for seeing him." ’

"What is the purpose of the Governor?"

"Of course, it is also for the great plan of our Huns, you also know that I am familiar with easy learning, can see the sky and understand people, when I saw Sima Ying at first sight, I knew that he was not a person who was content with his duties, if he was a little bit more discouraged, he would definitely be a master of the world."

"We can't see into the governor's plans."

"I'll go to Chengdu Wangfu now."

In the Chengdu Palace, Sima Ying was chatting with the housekeeper Meng Jiu.

Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, is the sixteenth son of Sima Yan and the younger brother of Sima Zhen. When Taikang was eleven years old, he was named the king of Chengdu, and the fief was Shushan in Yizhou, Qianwei, Guanghan, Wenshan counties, and Yizhou was remote where Luoyang was prosperous, and the mother Concubine Cheng was unwilling to leave Luoyang, so she never went to the country and lived in Luoyang.

Sima Ying is just 20 years old this year, with a bold personality, she doesn't like to read since she was a child, she only likes to dance with guns and sticks, and she loves horse racing even more.

There is a racecourse in Yanma Town in the eastern suburbs, and he talks to people every day, and just now someone told him that their horse lost the horse of Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, and Sima Ying was very happy.

Meng Jiu has fine skin and tender meat, clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and a graceful posture that is better than that of a woman, and has been a housekeeper for three years, and has won Sima Ying's trust and favor.

Meng Jiu said: "Lord Wang, we always lost in the past, since we recruited Shi Le, the situation in the horse farm has been immediately reversed, Shi Le, this person has superb equestrian skills, nine out of ten bets to win, if this continues, we can make a fortune." It's just that I made the decision to give Shile a salary of ten taels and one month, although it is more, but it is also worth it, I did not discuss it with you in advance, don't blame the prince. ”

"Meng Jiu, well done, you don't need to tell me about this kind of trivial matter, as long as you can help me reverse the form of the racecourse, I don't care how much it costs, there will be a brave man under the heavy reward."

"Lord Xie understands Meng Jiu, and I will definitely live up to the prince's trust."

"Lord Wang, there is a person named Liu Yuan outside." A government soldier came in and said.

"Liu Yuan? Could it be Liu Yuan, the governor of the five Huns? Sima said, thinking that Liu Yuan had never had anything to do with him, did he just want to come to visit the king? I heard that this man was an all-round talent in the humanities and martial arts, and he almost worshiped the general to quell the rebellion during the first emperor's period, and now the five Xiongnu departments have long been attached to him, and they may be needed in the future, so he decided to meet him.

"Please, take him to the antechamber, and I'll change my clothes."

Juntu turned around and went out to lead Liu Yuan to the living room, Meng Jiu ordered someone to serve tea, and Sima Ying also changed his clothes and came out, wearing a blue brocade shirt and a purple crown, shining brightly.

"Xiaguan Liu Yuan see the prince." Liu Yuan knelt down, Sima Ying saw that Liu Yuan was extraordinary, sighed secretly in her heart, and stepped forward to help him up: "Elder Liu Dudu, there is no need to be like this." ”

After sitting down for a few words, Liu Yuan said: "The prince was handsome and extraordinary when he was young, and he was even more colorful when he grew up. ”

"Do you mean you saw this king when you were a child?"

"When the prince was three years old, Xia Guan entered the palace to meet the first emperor and once gave you a gift, do you have a jade Guanyin ornament?"

Sima Ying took off an ornament from his neck with his hand, it was a jade Guanyin, and he continued: "Yes, there is one, is this what the governor sent?" ”

"Exactly."

Sima Ying got up and whispered a few words to Meng Jiu, and Meng Jiu walked out of the living room.

The two drank tea, Meng Jiu came back after a short time, and said in Sima Ying's ear, it turned out that he had just asked Meng Jiu to ask his mother if there was such a thing as Concubine Cheng, and after confirmation, Sima Ying was naturally polite.

Sima Ying knew that Liu Yuan must have asked him for this time, and asked, "...... the governor here?" ”

Liu Yuan said: "Lord Wang, Xiaguan has a nephew named Liu Yao, who has a lot of business in Luoyang, but he was framed and imprisoned a few days ago, so he ......."

Sima Ying said: "Liu Yao's matter is very important, he is a felony of stealing jade seals, and if he doesn't get it right, he will implicate the nine clans." ”

Of course, Liu Yuan understood, he knelt down and kowtowed: "This matter is not his intention, someone is really framing him." ”

Sima Ying helped him up and said: "Governor, this king also knows that Liu Yao will not do such a rebellious thing, let this king think of a way." ”

Liu Yuan said: "Lord, the prince's wedding is imminent, and the imperial court should hold an amnesty, so that my nephew will be saved." ”

Sima Ying said: "This method is good, I will propose it in the court tomorrow." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang."

Liu Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Xia Guan still has a few heartfelt words to say. As he spoke, he looked at Meng Jiu and a few servants.

When Sima Ying heard this, it turned out that she wanted people to avoid it, and Sima Ying waved her hand to signal Meng Jiu and the maidservants to retreat.

Everyone retreated, and Sima Ying said: "Liu Dudu, now it's just the two of us, let's say anything if we have anything." ”

Liu Yuan gathered his clothes and said solemnly: "Lord Wang, the lower officials have studied the scriptures, especially the Xiangjing and the Book of Changes, and have studied for twenty or thirty years, and have quite a lot of experience. ”

Sima Ying was happy when she heard it, could it be that I really have a day to rule the world, if that is the case, wouldn't it coincide with my thoughts? Could it be providence?

Sima Ying pretended to be angry: "Bold, dare to say something rebellious!" ”
